Two electrons are a distance r apart, the first electron exerts a force F on the second electron. a) What force does the second electron exert on the first? b) In terms of r, at what distance is the force that the first electron exerts on the second F/9?
This question is on electric forces between charged particles. A useful equation to consider is Coulomb's law:F=k(Q1Q2
Two identical uniform spheres each of radius R are placed in contact. The gravitational force between them is F. They are then separated until the force between them is one ninth of the magnitude. What is the distance between the surfaces of the spheres?
With electostatics, it is important to remember that inthe equation giving the force between two point charges, the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the charges.
